Enhanced Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells by a Hybrid Hydroxylapatite/Collagen Scaffold.

ABSTRACT: Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and their derivative enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP)-hBMSCs were employed to evaluate an innovative hybrid scaffold composed of granular hydroxylapatite and collagen hemostat (Coll/HA). The cellular morphology/cytoskeleton organization and cell viability were investigated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and AlamarBlue metabolic assay, respectively. The expression of osteopontin and osteocalcin proteins was analyzed by IHC and ELISA, whereas osteogenic genes were investigated by quantitative PCR (Q-PCR). Cell morphology of eGFP-hBMSCs was indistinguishable from that of parental hBMSCs. The cytoskeleton architecture of hBMSCs grown on the scaffold appeared to be well organized, whereas its integrity remained uninfluenced by the scaffold during the time course. Metabolic activity measured in hBMSCs grown on a biomaterial was increased during the experiments, up to day 21 (p < 0.05). The biomaterial induced the matrix mineralization in hBMSCs. The scaffold favored the expression of osteogenic proteins, such as osteocalcin and osteopontin. In hBMSC cultures, the scaffold induced up-regulation in specific genes that are involved in ossification process (BMP2/3, SPP1, SMAD3, and SP7), whereas they showed an up-regulation of MMP9 and MMP10, which play a central role during the skeletal development. hBMSCs were induced to chondrogenic differentiation through up-regulation of COL2A1 gene. Our experiments suggest that the innovative scaffold tested herein provides a good microenvironment for hBMSC adhesion, viability, and osteoinduction. hBMSCs are an excellent in vitro cellular model to assay scaffolds, which can be employed for bone repair and bone tissue engineering.

Project description:BackgroundCollagen is one of the most commonly used natural biomaterials for tendon tissue engineering. One of the possible practical ways to further enhance tendon repair is to combine a porous collagen sponge scaffold with a suitable growth factor or cytokine that has an inherent ability to promote the recruitment, proliferation, and tenogenic differentiation of cells. However, there is an incomplete understanding of which growth factors are sufficient and optimal for the tenogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in a collagen sponge-based 3D culture system.AimTo identify one or more ideal growth factors that benefit the proliferation and tenogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs in a porous collagen sponge scaffold.MethodsWe constructed a 3D culture system based on a type I collagen sponge scaffold. The surface topography of the collagen sponge scaffold was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Primary BMSCs were isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats. Cell survival on the surfaces of the scaffolds with different growth factors was assessed by live/dead assay and CCK-8 assay. The mRNA and protein expression levels were confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot, respectively. The deposited collagen was assessed by Sirius Red staining.ResultsTransforming growth factor ?1 (TGF-?1) showed great promise in the tenogenic differentiation of BMSCs compared to growth differentiation factor 7 (GDF-7) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in both the 2D and 3D cultures, and the 3D culture enhanced the differentiation of BMSCs into tenocytes well beyond the level of induction in the 2D culture after TGF-?1 treatment. In the 2D culture, the proliferation of the BMSCs showed no significant changes compared to the control group after TGF-?1, IGF-1, or GDF-7 treatment. However, TGF-?1 and GDF-7 could increase the cell proliferation in the 3D culture. Strangely, we also found more dead cells in the BMSC-collagen sponge constructs that were treated with TGF-?1. Moreover, TGF-?1 promoted more collagen deposition in both the 2D and 3D cultures.ConclusionCollagen sponge-based 3D culture with TGF-?1 enhances the responsiveness of the proliferation and tenogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs.

Project description:Silica nonwoven fabrics (SNFs) with enough mechanical strength are candidates as implantable scaffolds. Culture of cells therein is expected to affect the proliferation and differentiation of the cells through cell-cell and cell-SNF interactions. In this study, we examined three-dimensional (3D) SNFs as a scaffold of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for bone tissue engineering applications. The interconnected highly porous microstructure of 3D SNFs is expected to allow omnidirectional cell-cell interactions, and the morphological similarity of a silica nanofiber to that of a fibrous extracellular matrix can contribute to the promotion of cell functions. 3D SNFs were prepared by the sol-gel process, and their mechanical properties were characterized by the compression test and rheological analysis. In the compression test, SNFs showed a compressive elastic modulus of over 1 MPa and a compressive strength of about 200 kPa. These values are higher than those of porous polystyrene disks used for in vitro 3D cell culture. In rheological analysis, the elastic modulus and fracture stress were 3.27 ± 0.54 kPa and 25.9 ± 8.3 Pa, respectively. Then, human bone marrow-derived MSCs were cultured on SNFs, and the effects on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were evaluated. The MSCs seeded on SNF proliferated, and the thickness of the cell layer became over 80 μm after 14 days of culture. The osteogenic differentiation of MSCs on SNFs was induced by the culture in the commercial osteogenic differentiation medium. The alkaline phosphatase activity of MSCs on SNFs increased rapidly and remained high up to 14 days and was much higher than that on two-dimensional tissue culture-treated polystyrene. The high expression of RUNX2 and intense staining by alizarin red s after differentiation supported that SNFs enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Furthermore, permeation analysis of SNFs using fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran suggested a sufficient permeability of SNFs for oxygen, minerals, nutrients, and secretions, which is important for maintaining the cell viability and vitality. These results suggested that SNFs are promising scaffolds for the regeneration of bone defects using MSCs, originated from highly porous and elastic SNF characters.
